I Got You
Ky-Mani Marley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think there's something wrong in my head
Go to bed wishing I would wake up dead
Been feeling so numb as of lately
Screaming at the top of your lungs
That you hate me

Standing in the rain on your front lawn
All the love you had for me it's all gone
Voice in my head telling me to move on
Stop calling my phone let bygones be bygones

If I were you things would still be the same
If you were me you'd send a bullet to my brain
Everything here just doesn't feel right
I just say I'll be okay and everything is just fine

Made a couple racks and I spent that
Said that you hate me, you meant that
Runnin' up a check get these blue stacks
Took control of my mind you got hacks

If you don't want me why the fuck don't you say so
Put my hood up in public, just try to lay low
Memories pop up putting tears on my table
Turns out you're a demon disguised with a halo

If I were you things would still be the same
If you were me you'd send a bullet to my brain




Everything here just doesn't feel right
I just say I'll be okay and everything is just fine

Overall Meaning

Ky-Mani Marley's song I Got You delves into the complexities of relationships, particularly the pain and confusion that emerge when love turns sour. The first verse hints at a deep sense of hopelessness and despair, with the singer stating that they wish they were dead. The numbness they feel is punctuated by the piercing scream of their partner, who apparently hates them. Such emotional turmoil is enough to make one question their sanity.


The second verse shows the full extent of the breakup as the singer stands in the rain at his former lover's doorstep, realizing that all of their love is gone. A voice in his head urges him to move on, while simultaneously pleading for his ex to stop contacting him. The singer is ultimately resigned to acceptance, convinced that things would be the same regardless of who took whose place.


In the final verse, the singer seems to have recovered somewhat from the pain of the breakup, now focused on his material success, having made a few stacks. However, he is not completely immune as he still ponders over their relationship. He questions why his ex did not just say that she did not want him in her life, further emphasizing that the memories of their time together often bring him to tears. He concludes that she might be a demon but cleverly disguises herself in a halo, toying with his emotions.


Overall, I Got You reveals the intense emotional response that people feel when relationships turn sour. Despite the material success or financial reward, heartbreak is a heavy burden to bear. Ky-Mani Marley's lyrics capture the raw emotions of such situations with unflinching honesty.

I feel like I'm not right within myself


Go to bed wishing I would wake up dead
I hope to not wake up tomorrow


Been feeling so numb as of lately
I haven't been able to feel much lately


Screaming at the top of your lungs
Yelling as loud as you can


That you hate me
Expressing dislike or anger towards me


Standing in the rain on your front lawn
Physically present, outside, on the grass in front of your house in the rain


All the love you had for me it's all gone
The affection or caring feelings you had for me are no longer there


Voice in my head telling me to move on
My thoughts are encouraging me to let go and move forward


Stop calling my phone let bygones be bygones
Please stop trying to contact me and let's leave the past in the past


If I were you things would still be the same
If our roles were reversed, our situation would remain unchanged


If you were me you'd send a bullet to my brain
If you were in my position, you would rather die than continue in this pain


Everything here just doesn't feel right
The current circumstances are off, uncomfortable or unpleasant for me

Made a couple racks and I spent that
I earned some money and spent it all quickly


Said that you hate me, you meant that

Runnin' up a check get these blue stacks
Making a lot of money, accumulating stacks of money


Took control of my mind you got hacks
You have the power to control me mentally


If you don't want me why the fuck don't you say so
If you're not interested in me, why won't you be honest and express that?


Put my hood up in public, just try to lay low
I'm trying to stay out of the public eye, so I'm wearing a hood and keeping a low profile


Memories pop up putting tears on my table
Recollections of our past together are causing me to cry


Turns out you're a demon disguised with a halo
You appeared to be good and pure, but in reality you're a bad person

She love to cruise in the city life
Top down in the sun
But baby looking pretty like
She spend cash for fun
She love to party till the morning
What ever she wants is on me
But if these walls come falling, girl
Would you still be there for me
Would you still tell me that you love me?
Yeah, if the money run low?
I'm in jail I need bail money
Would you go dance on that pole?
I got you stressing on another one
Would you take the charge for me?
I hear you saying that you love me
But do you really love me?

When it comes to the love
When it comes to the cash
I got you baby
When it comes to the first
When it comes to the last
I got you baby
The kind you take home to momma
Want a woman with class
I got you baby
Everything you ever dreamed of
I got you, I got you baby

He's addicted to the fast life
Non stop, no sleep
Said his eyes stay open
It comes with the territory
And my heart goes out to him
Wanna show him that he can trust me
In the good even when it hit the fan
No matter what I'm gonna be right here
See when I tell you that I love you
I mean what I say
With or with out the money
I'ma be here anyway
When you're stressed out or all alone
Don't fret I'm your back bone
College education I can brief case it
But just in case keep a full one in the basement

When it comes to the love
When it comes to the cash
I got you baby
When it comes to the first
When it comes to the last
I got you baby
The kind you take home to momma
Want a woman with class
I got you baby
Everything you ever dreamed of
I got you, I got you baby

Lets ride, let's ride, let's ride...

What if I'm under fire and I need you to fire back?
(I got ya, I got ya)
Yea, I got the goods and I need you to hide the stash
(I got ya, I got ya)
If I had to do it by three would you stay would you flee?
(I got ya, I got ya)
That's good too know
(You don't ever have to question cuz gonna be right here)

When it comes to the love
When it comes to the cash
I got you baby
When it comes to the first
When it comes to the last
I got you baby
The kind you take home to momma
(Treat me like a queen)
Want a woman with class
(And I'ma treat you like a king)
I got you baby
Everything you ever dreamed of
I got you, I got you baby

Now Or Never
I Got You
People tell me you stay where you belong
But all my life, I've tried to prove them wrong
They say I'm looking for
Something that can't be found
They say I'm missing out
My feet don't touch the ground

But there are moments when you can't deny what's true
Just an ordinary day like when I met you
It's funny how life can take new meaning
When you came and changed what I believed in
The world on the outside's trying to pull me in
But they can't touch me
Cause I got you...

I got you...oh yeah

I want to thank you for all of the things you've done
But most for choosing me to be the one
It's funny how life can take new meaning
When you came and changed what I believe in
The world on the outside's trying to pull me in
But they can't touch me
Cause I got you...

And it hits me when I reach for you
That I'm afraid you won't be there
Maybe I am in too deep
But I don't care...

I'm right where I belong
I got you
Yeah, prove them wrong...
I've got you, yeah
Can't deny what's true, No
They can't touch me, baby

I got you...
I got you...
Right where I belong
Oh yeah..
I've got you baby..
Right where I belong..
Can't deny what's true..
No they can't touch me,
Cause I...got you

Now Or Never
I Got You
